Ikarishipping General Discussion 2.0

► It's the name given to the coupling of Dawn and Paul, or Shinji and Hikari in japanese.
Alternate names for it are PADL (Paul and Dawn Love) or Pawn and Shinhika (contraction of both names).
If you like the idea of those two being together, or think that they would make a cute couple then this place is for you! =D

☆THE THREAD☆

You're currently visiting the Ikarishipping Thread 2.0 which has replaced the old one after 200 pages and almost 4000 posts. ^^
Aeneid and I are currently in charge of the thread , if you need help or have any questions feel free to pmus, we'll get back to you as soon as we can! n_n

Quit the spamming, guys. This is not a chatroom. You aren't contributing to the topic at all. Rissychan will choose the co-owner(s) she sees fit. Please, get on topic / make a topic and make your posts meaningful. Thanks.

ogeez, I haven't though about Ikarishipping in so long. o_o I sort of lost interest...again. Though, it has a lot of new fanart lately, so...XD; Hopefully by posting here more often I regain interest. =D

Topic (since we don't have one) - What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings? (remember, no bashing)

I found this fanart a few minutes ago - if it's been posted already, sorry lol. I liked it, though, so yeah.

Okay, may I have the honor of posting the first topic of the new thread? *dead silence....looks around...* OKAY!

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?

Ooh, thats cheesy ( yum!) and good!!! Well, Shinji and hikari would seeth with a fury and try to kill Satoshi but they'd get they're hands mufflled and fall on top of each other! MUWHAHAHA! And then they'd have to hold hands and explain to everyone why they're like this while everone is like "hmm...yeah....SURRRREEEE." HAHA! And when they try going separate ways, they'd fall again!! Heehee! and it'd be really awkward if one had to go to the bathroom or change! God, I'm so evil sometimes I surprise myself....O.O

Yay! A new thread and a fanart already! I also had draw a fanart for the opening of the thread. If any of you remember my last fanart I posted, she is D and I finally choose a name for her. It is Onshuu meaning hate and love.

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?
I think they first fight and then later work with each other. I kind of write this fast because I need to go somewhere.

Yay for the new thread! Rissychan, you did a great job on the first page.

@Mitsukai: She's so cute! Onshuu... it works.

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

I think I discovered what IkariShipping was through a fic that I found while searching for other couples. I didn't really care about it back then, I was just reading it for the sake of the other two ships involved. However, as I got deeper into the story, I thought... "hang on, this could work." And that's when I became an IkariShipper. I've stayed with it because there's great chemistry (opposites attract, ne?), they look good together, and it's unique and exciting.

I'm making an Ikari banner, it will be done soon. Maybe a fic sooner or later too. ^^

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?
Maybe Mel-Girl's fanfic, even though it's only in the 1st chapter Meiryoku Curse is the fic
And because they're total opposites..

Worms? I hate worms. They make me go crazy.
Crazy? I hate being crazy, they lock me up in a room to die
Die? I don't wanna die, worms will eat me
Worms? I hate worms, they make me go crazy...

It's finished!! And sure! Everyone, feel free to use it, if you like it. I included that 'when blue meets purple' thing Rissychan came up with in the last thread... because it's just so awesome. ^______^

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

Well, I do ship other Hikari shippings and Shinji shippings, but what has made Ikarishipping appeal to me is their characteristics I quite like.

I like Paul's cold hearted character and Dawn's optimistic behavior, to me they both seem really realistic and their personality clashes would be very interesting to watch. If Paul and Dawn were to get together, I would say that they would have their personality clashes even more, which will be even more fun to watch.

@ xXContestShipperxX - The banner is really nice. I like how it shows the personality clash and the color references.

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?
Hahahaha cracking topic. Paul would obviously be annoyed and Dawn would be chatting non stop. I think eventually when they do find the key and they are untangled Paul would want to run from the embarrassment.

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

Oopsie! I didn't see this when I posted the other topic ^.^; My bad....!*bows a million times*

Okay, well, before I was on youtube and watching many fanart vids of my preferred shippings and ikarishippig was thrown in there too, and I was like "ooh ,they look cute together!" and then when the series started, I was thinking "This could be intresting..." and finally when episode 16 aired I was like, "THAT'S IT! I'M A OFFICAL IAKRISHIPPER!!!!" And that is how my ikarishippig love was born ^.^

THAT BANNER IS SO CUTE xXContestShipperXx! @ Mitsukai, she's really adorable!! I love it! It's just so perfect!

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

Well I have to admit that at first I didn't even know to much about shippings. When I discovered a relationship between Dawn and Paul I was like "WTF" but that was only because I hated Paul. Then I started to think of why Paul was a jerk and wrote a fan fic about my Pokemon Pearl character and Paul together. Then I discovered Ikarishipping and was like "YAY!!".

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?

Well I can imagine that Paul and Dawn would be swearing and screaming at Ash. Then Ash would probably secretly find the key and not tell them so he'd say "The key is gone forever. The only way you can be freed is if you kissed". At first Dawn and Paul would be like "NO WAY!" but they'd realize that it couldn't be as bad as what kind of situation they were in now. So they'd kiss and Ash would record it and then tell them that he had had the key all along and then free them. Then Paul and Dawn would chase Ash. ^_^

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

Well, honestly I don't know how I became an ikarishipper ^^' But I do know I became a full-pledged ikarishipper in episode 16! I just love how the two are like opposites xD

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?

Obviously Ash would be running home to his mother, trying to escape the fiery wrath of Paul and Dawn, meanwhile Dawn would be all mad, chattering nonstop to Paul and Paul would be banging his head ona nearby tree xD Eh, a few shippy moments would happen, eventually they would find the key and they would no longer be together, but before they depart and go their separate ways they would say something like they'll miss being together xD

@xXContestshipperXx: Aww that banner is so cute! I love it! ^_^
@Rissychan: Also great new thread!

Forever an ikarishipper~[Ikarishipper for eternity (: ♥ ]★...Banner made by xxGlassRose...★

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?
Er...well, it's probably the prettiest shipping? >_>; No, seriously. They color coordinate/look so well standing next to each other. XD No, really, though - Ikarishipping is way different from other shippings in Pokemon. It's one of the most popular shippings without much interaction, which says a lot about how dedicated the fans are. The concept may not be that original, sure, but it's definitely different in the fact that it isn't another boring "rival" pairing - this time, the rival belongs to someone else. I think that's the coolest part about it. =< Oh, and when they do interact, it's hilarious and you can't help but think it's cute. I support other Hikari pairings as well, so I can't really say much else, but yeah. Those are the main reason(s) why I think Ikarishipping is so great. Also, Mel-Girl's new Ikarishipping fanfiction got me liking it a lot lately, so check it out if you haven't yet!

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?
LOL. I can imagine them both being incredibly POed at Satoshi, especially Shinji. Though, yanno, one of those cheesy things would happen - they'd probably be stuck together for a day or so, and then realize things they liked about the other. Hikari would admit that when they find the key - Shinji, however, wouldn't be so eager to admit it, haha. He'd probably make a subtle gesture that would leave Hikari confused, but she'd figure it out later on - not to mention, bug Shinji about it the next time she sees him. :x

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

who says I don't support any other Hikari or Shinji shippings? *ahem* Well, Ikarishipping is one of my main ships right now. One of the reasons that I like it so much, is how well the personalities work with each other. That opposites attract thing. How Shinji is always so cold and self-centered, while Hikari is cheery and bright, and all-around happy. I like the thought of her annoying him 24/7 if they ever did date. I also like the idea of her changing his personality a little for the better.

And then there's how amazingly good they look together. The hair colors match just enough to not clash [in a burning-eyes way], but clash just enough to not look like they're twins. It's amazing.

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

I prefer pairings that are not only appealing to my eye, but also the chemistry of the pair. Ikarishipping, despite the few hints and some dismissing it as 'not possible', is the most workable shipping when it comes to fanarts and fanfictions. ^^ Also, despite the fact that there are few supporters of the shipping, the shippers who support it are vocal and loyal to ikarishipping. *hugs my fellow ikarishippers*

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?

DDDDDDDDDD:

Why oh why did those two trusted Satoshi with such? D:

*ahem*

Hilarity ensues. 8D Bathroom break in the public restrooms, anyone? 8DDDD Oh, and during the Contests and the Gym Battles! One has to drag the other to those until the key is found, and the two are forced to travel together, sleep side by side and probably even bathe together (don't go there, Hikari can always wear a swimsuit).

It's finished!! And sure! Everyone, feel free to use it, if you like it. I included that 'when blue meets purple' thing Rissychan came up with in the last thread... because it's just so awesome. ^______^

Note: I tested it out in my signature a while ago and it took a while for me to get it right. Hopefully that was just a one-time thing. O_O

Awww such a cute banner :3 I'm so honoured that you chose to put my random sentence x3 I'll add it to the front page! n_n

Thanks guys! ^^ I hope it isn't too colorful though x_X I wanted it to be cute and welcoming for the new ikarishippers to come n_n
If you have any suggestions regarding the front page don't hesitate to PM me ^^
As for the fanworks section, pm me graphics, amvs or fanfiction links that you would like to ba added in the front page. =D
Aeneid suggested that I should put the members' works, so I ask you guys if I can link your works here?
About the nominations thing well I don't really know how to do it =/ I'll add an "announcement" section in the first post so that I can keep you guys informed without spamming the thread with it =x
Also we should decide on a picture to put in the fp (front page I've been saying this a lot lately x_X) so I wait for your ideas ^^

Anywayyy back to topics, thanks guys ^^

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?

The first thing is___ they look so cuute together! XD As some of you said they match each other perfectly color-wise x3 Esthetic is really important for me (in the animes I watch that is XD) and I think that they look perfect together ^^ (such a lame reason I'm sorry to say x3) The hints and stuff aren't that important to me , I think that I would have supported IkarS even if it was a nevermet =x But their interactions are great and add a lot to my love and interest in this pairing <3
Also I was already a Pokéshipper, and I don't really like either Kengo or Nozomi, that's why I support IkariS rather than other Hikari/Shini shippings cause I love Paul and Dawn and I love even more together 8D *is shot*

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?

Lol XD Well it would be hell on earth at the beginning, cause they would be so angry and frustrated to be stuck together. XD Then they would hopefully understand each other a little more. Finally when they would be "released" they would part but thinking about each other and wanting to know more about each other ^^ Not really shippy sorry X3

If Satoshi wanted to try out a new magic trick on Hikari and Shinji, hand-cuffed them together, and lost the key, what would happen?

We would all prey that Shinji wouldn't kill Satoshi within minutes. Then After about two days, prey that he doesn't kill her.

First, Shinji would probably have all his pokémon try and cut the hand cuffs off. He would fail, of course, and nearly chop Hikari's wrist off in the process.

So, they'd have to travel together, obviously. Hikari would prolly just drag [litterally! XD] Shinji along with Satoshi and Takeshi. Since they don't really change their clothes in the anime, that wouldn't be a problem. [eeeew] To take showers, Hikari would stand in the shower with her hand-cuffed hand sticking out the side of the curtain, where Shinji would be standing. And she would blindfold him. Then they would switch.

MKPokemonMaster, please not post three times in a row. If you got a new topic, please use the edit button.

What made you choose to support Ikarishipping rather than the other Hikari or Shinji shippings?
Well, I do support other shipping with Hikari, but only in the game. In the anime, I only support Ikarishipping because I support it since I come back to the forum and was reading the old thread. Also, even since Ep.16 I'm so in love with Ikarishipping.

Also, I want to thank xXContestShipperXx,Kawaii-chan,Chelc,Aeneid,and Rissychan for commenting my new art piece.

@Rissychan: My drawing style remind you Shugo Chara or Rozen Maiden...Are you sure?! 0_0 To me, my style suck compare to them and my anatomy suck too.
Edit: Oh, I forgot about this. I give you permission to link my fanarts as you wish.

HAHA! I was going to say Aeneid...Hikari and Shinji can't be nudie next to each other at such a innocent time in their life! XD you crack me up!

If you had to describe Ikarishipping as a color what color would it be?

Purple and Blue! BUt since its "color" and not "colors", I would say..............Blurple? *is shot*

@ Rissychan, i give you my permission to link any of my fanworks if you wish ^.^

@ riolulu, you should write that as a oneshot! I know I would read it !!

What made you support ikarishipping than the other Hikari and Shinji shippings?

Well I supported it because it's opposites since Hikari's a corrdinator and Shinji is a trainer here's my opinions on the other Hikari pairings showing the main characters,rivals, or characters they might see more than 1 time during the Sinnoh region

Heartagshipping: It's my second favorite shipping
Pearlshipping: I think of it as a best friend shipping because Satoshi and Hikari are like a brother and sister almost
Penguinshipping: It's my most hated shipping of Hikari because Kengo is NOT my favorite character of Pokemon DP Battle Dimension

If Paul and Dawn were chosen and forced to sing karaoke togther which song would they sing?

Btw does anyone have a idea for a country song for Paul to sing in my fic.

Plus I have a piczo account with a small ikarishipping page so I was thinking we should make a Ikarishipping website with fan art, AMVs, and stuff like that. I could make the website if people think we should make a website. I have a website that I don't really update so maybe I can switch it to a Ikarishipping website. What do you think?

@ riolulu, you should write that as a oneshot! I know I would read it !!

aaw, thankx! Maybe if I don't want to write my current ikari fic one day, i will go for that oneshot. ;3

topic time!

If you could describe Ikarishipping as a color what would you choose?

what do you get when you mix blue and purple? That color.

If Paul and Dawn switched bodies what would happen?

fufufufu. bad things would happen. Ash and Brock would bother Paul [as Dawn] about being sad, and ask him why he's having a bad day, and do other things that would annoy him to hell. [that's the impression they would get from seeing Paul's personality on Dawn]. Then, they would come across Dawn [as Paul] and he would b like "ASH!!!! BROCK!!! where did you guys go? I woke up and I was all alone!!!" Then she would see Paul [as herself] and be like "OMG WHO IS THAT!??!!??!" poor Dawn...lolz!
